President Tarbox presented Will Galloway of the Watershed School $500 for their group. Meals on Wheels: Bill Batty, Jr. and Janet Page deliver tomorrow; Keith Wass and a guest deliver on the the 19th. Grand Raffle (GR): We need to sell tickets. We've only sold 114 of the 425 to sell, and the drawing's August 30th! OHTM: Three or four more people are needed for the auction. Sumner Kinney reports he needs people from 8-11:30am, and if you sign up, he'll provide you with a lobster roll! (Special thanks to Jackie Harjula who worked both days this past weekend.) The Aktion Club is having a cookout on 8/20; it starts at 4pm.
